‘Solyndra started under Bush’ INCORRECT! Please do not spread this lie anymore.

“September 14, 2011

Bush Admin. Voted AGAINST Solyndra Loan

The results of the Congressional probe shared Tuesday with ABC News show that less than two weeks before President Bush left office, on January 9, 2009, the Energy Department’s credit committee had voted against offering a loan commitment to Solyndra.

Even after Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, analysts in the Energy Department and in the Office of Management and Budget were repeatedly questioning the wisdom of the loan. In one exchange, an Energy official wrote of “a major outstanding issue” — namely, that Solyndra’s numbers showed it would run out of cash in September 2011.

It is my understanding that the Bush Administration turned them down.

Obozo ignored solyndra warnings. Many more if you search solyndra in titles. The “blame Bush” meme is nothing but a libtard talking point.

“Be careful what you ask for. Solyndra started under Bush.”

Do you mean that the company started under Bush, or that the chicanery started under Bush? In either case, if there is wrong-doing going on, it needs to be found and punished. If it leads to both Bush AND Obama, so be it. Maybe I'm old-fashioned or something, but I just want honest politicians. Once they're bought, they should stay bought, and when they're taking MY money, they should be listening to ME. ;)
